Do I tell my employer if I go to jail for a month?

SINGAPORE: A local worker shared in a Reddit post about her unusual life happenings. u/doopiejoo posted in r/askSingapore that though she is doing well now, she had an ‘incident’. Apparently, she has a criminal record.

“Do the right thing and be honest? Or keep quiet, hide a skeleton and keep my life going as per normal,” she asked. “Integrity is key, but having to job hunt with a criminal record would suck more. So I am considering ‘hiding’ it and asking for unpaid sabbatical to fix personal matters if sentence is short,” the she added. She also mentioned that she has a dilemma about honesty and practicality regarding the subject matter.

She further explained that her employer is not too strict with background checks, and she does well in her performance and has a good relationship with her bosses.
